Hi! First time with pregnant babydoll sheep. Both girls just under 2 years old and first time moms. First one delivered as planned. The second one is confusing the heck out of me. Originally thought she was bred 10/1-10/2. That due date range came and went. Now thinking maybe she was bred 10/20ish. Today would be day 154? No udder at all. Pic of vulva attached. Interested in your thoughts.

Then you should know pretty soon if she is bred or not. If she goes a couple of weeks past the very latest due date, based on 10-31, then get her bred again. That isn't what we like to hear, after waiting on the birth event, what a disappointment. The only thing worse than that is having a ewe birth a dead lamb or one so deformed that you have to put it down.

I'm glad that the first one had a lamb for you. Got any pictures of the lamb? We just love pictures you know. LOL

Thank for your reply! Here is our little Louie right after birth and then just a couple of days ago. He’s so cute!!!

Really hard to tell with her being so well conditioned ;) If she has no udder and the rest of her looks like your posted photos, I believe she may not be bred. Time will tell, though!

That was sort of my thought she may have been to over-conditioned and didnt take the breeding. To me she does not look late stage prego so I would say likely she didnt take. Same suggestion as Bay wait until April 9th and if there is no lamb breed again if possible. Babydolls are usually seasonal breeders only breeding in cooler months/shorter daylight. There are some that will breed year round though. Your new lamb is very cute.
